Wall-mounted radiant cooling device

Abstract

In the field of building and of cooling systems there is disclosed a wall-mounted radiant cooling device for rooms, including: at least two cooling tubes positioned on two different levels adapted for cooled water to flow through; a fixing unit of the cooling tubes to the outside of the walls of the rooms. Each cooling tube includes two shaped longitudinal fins, and the radiant cooling device further includes a channel, arranged parallel to and underneath the cooling tubes, adapted to collect the condensate that is generated through contact with the hot air present in the rooms provided with the cooling tubes. The longitudinal fins of the cooling tubes are adapted to cooperate with one another to convey the condensate into the channel.
